Always print allocated pty to stdout

When rfcomm_sppd is told to daemonize (-b), it does not write the name of the
pty it obtained through openpty() to standard output.  This probably wasn't a
problem before openpty() was used, as one had to manually specify which pty
should be used.

The attached patch causes rfcomm_sppd to unconditionally output the path to the
allocated pty, before daemonizing.  Without it, there is no (robust) way to
determine which pty was allocated, after the fact.

Best,
Timo Buhrmester
